Abstract

To increase safety for everyone on the road, motor vehicles are equipped with inside mirrors which can be bent on both sides and are vertically adjustable. As a result of this, the "blind angle" is avoided. The mirror comprises a base part and two lateral bodies which can be bent in a variable manner. The individual elements are articulately connected to one another. The mirror is vertically adjustable, as the holding element comprises two individual elements which can be pushed into one another.

Description

1. Beidseitig abknickbarer höhenverstellbarer1. Height-adjustable, foldable on both sides

Innenspiegel für Kraftfahrzeuge 2.1 Kraftfahrzeugwesen. Interior mirrors for motor vehicles 2.1 Motor vehicles.

2.2 Bisherige Ausführung des Innenspiegels: Die Grundanforderungen an Sicht, Größe und Befestigung sind in einer gültigen EG - Direktive ähnlich dein bestehenden FMVSS 111 zusa:n:nemgefa2t.2.2 Previous version of the interior mirror: The basic requirements in terms of visibility, size and attachment are similar to yours in a valid EC directive existing FMVSS 111 together: n: nemgefa2t.

Die der EG - Direktive entsprechenden Innenspiegel weisen konstruktionsbedingt einen " toten Winkel " auf. The interior mirrors corresponding to the EC directive are due to their design a "blind spot".

Unter " totem Winkel " versteht man, daß ein Bereich vorhanden ist, der weder durch Innen - noch Außenspiegel abgedeckt wird. "Dead angle" means that there is an area which is not covered by inside or outside mirrors.

Dadurch ist ein erheblicher Mangel an Sicherheit gegeben. This results in a considerable lack of security.

2.3 Der abknickbare höhenverstellbare Innenspiegel deckt den Bereich des " toten winkels ab und verleiht dem Kraftfahrzeugführer eine erhöhte Sicherheit.2.3 The hinged, height-adjustable interior mirror covers the area of the "blind spot" and gives the motor vehicle driver increased safety.

2.4 Gewerblich nutzbar ist der oben genannte Gegenstand der Erfindung im Kraftfahrzeugwesen der Automobilindustrie.2.4 The subject of the invention mentioned above can be used commercially in the automotive sector in the automotive industry.

2.5 Die Erfindung dient der Erhöhung der Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr.2.5 The invention serves to increase road safety.

2.6 Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr ist der Innenspiegel so zu konstruieren, daß kein " toter Winkel " auftritt. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß der Spiegel zusätzlich zum Basiskörper aus zwei variabel abknickbaren Seitenkörpern besteht. Die Seitenkörper sind mit dem Basiskörper gelenkartig verbunden. Die von Basis - und Seitenkörpern eingeschlossenen Winkel sind entsprechend den Anforderungen für jede Position unterschiedlich ein stellbar.2.6 To increase safety in road traffic, the inside mirror is to be constructed in such a way that no "dead angle" occurs. This is done by that the mirror in addition to the base body consists of two variably angled side bodies consists. The side bodies are connected in an articulated manner to the base body. The from Base and side bodies included angles are according to the requirements can be set differently for each position.

Der gesamte Spiegel besteht aus einem Kunststoffguß, in welche das Spiegelglas eingebettet ist.The entire mirror is made of a plastic molding into which the Mirror glass is embedded.

Hier sind die bekannten EG - Direktiven anzuwenden.The well-known EC directives are to be used here.

An beiden Enden des Grundkörpers befinden sich gelenkartige Strukturen als Verbindungselemente mit den Seitenkörpern. Die Gelenke können aus Metall oder Kunststoff gefertigt werden. Dabei stellt Metall eine bessere lösung dar, weil es aufgrund höherer Festigkeit eine längere Gebrauchsdauer garantiert. Der Vorteil eines Kunststoffgefertigten Gelenks liegt darin, dal dieses in einem Arbeitsgang hergestelle werden kann.There are joint-like structures at both ends of the base body as connecting elements with the side bodies. The joints can be made of metal or Made of plastic. Metal is a better solution because it guarantees a longer service life due to its higher strength. The advantage of a plastic-made joint lies in the fact that this is done in one operation can be produced.

Jedes Einzelgelenk besteht aus zwei Zahnrädern und zwei dazu passenden Zahnkranzen, die in der Horizontalen ineinander greifen und paarweise übereinander angeordnet sind ( Darstellung 3 ).Each single joint consists of two gear wheels and two matching ones Sprockets that interlock horizontally and in pairs one above the other are arranged (illustration 3).

Die Zahnung der Eitzel und Zahnkränze sollte möglichst fein gewählt sein, um kleine Winkelschritte vollziehen zu können. Dies dient einer genauen Einstellung des Spiegels.The toothing of the pinion and gear rims should be selected as fine as possible to be able to take small angular steps. This is used for an exact setting of the mirror.

Infolge der Zahnräder muß die Kunststoffverkleidung der Spiegels in Gelenknähe stärker ausgelegt werden als in den übrigen Zonen (Darstellung 2).As a result of the gears, the plastic lining of the mirror must be in The vicinity of the joint should be designed to be stronger than in the other zones (illustration 2).

Das in den Kunststoffguß eingebettete Speigelglas liegt im Bereich der Seitenkörper in einer Führungsschiene. Das Spiegelglas der abknickbaren Ebenen ist dementsprechend in zwei Richtungen verschiebbar. Es kann bei Abknickung so an den Basiskörper angepaßt werden, daß eine durchgehende Spiegelfläche entsteht.The mirror glass embedded in the plastic molding is in the area the side body in a guide rail. The mirror glass of the foldable levels can therefore be moved in two directions. It can look like this if it kinks the base body can be adapted so that a continuous mirror surface is created.

Zur Stabilisierung des Spiegelglases befindet sich auf dessen Rückseite eine Retention, die in der auf der Kunststoffoberfläche angebrachten feinen Rasterung in der entsprechenden Position einrastet ( Darstellung 1 ).To stabilize the mirror glass is located on its back a retention in the fine grid applied to the plastic surface engages in the corresponding position (illustration 1).

Die Höhenverstellbarkeit des Spiegels wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Kunststoffhalteelemente aus zwei Teilelementen besteht, die ineinander schiebbar sind ( Darstellung 4 ).The height adjustability of the mirror is achieved in that the Plastic retaining elements consists of two sub-elements that can be pushed into one another are (illustration 4).

Dadurch kann der Spiegel in Augenhöhe des einzelnen Fahrers eingestellt werden, so daß der Augenpunkt desselben immer senkrecht auf die Spfegelebene fällt.This allows the mirror to be adjusted at the individual driver's eye level so that the eye point of the same always falls perpendicular to the plane of the level.

Der Spiegel muß den EG - Direktiven in Bezug auf Stabilität gerecht werden. Dies wird dadurch ereicht, daß das starre, nicht verschiebbar Teilelement an beIden Lateralflächen in bestimmten Abständen Öffnungen besitzt, in welche die beiden Retentionen der variablen Spiegelbefestigung einrasten. Die damit eingestellte Position des Spiegels ist somit stabil und erfüllt die EG - Direktiven.The mirror must meet the EC directives with regard to stability will. This is achieved in that the rigid, non-displaceable sub-element has openings on both lateral surfaces at certain intervals into which the Snap into both retentions of the variable mirror attachment. The thus set The position of the mirror is stable and fulfills the EC directives.

Das in Darstellung 4 mit V bezeichnete Vittelstück besteht aus einem Kunststoffring, dessen Rand rechteckförmig ausgebildet ist. Dies bewirkt, daß der Spiegel auch in der Horizontalen beweglicheist.The Vittelstück marked V in illustration 4 consists of a Plastic ring, the edge of which is rectangular. This causes the The mirror can also be moved horizontally.

Grundsätzlich ist der beidseitig abknickbare hc'.henerstellbare Innenspiegel mittels Elektromotoren einstellbar.Basically, the inside mirror, which can be bent on both sides, can be created adjustable by means of electric motors.
